āThe programme is great. Iāve had abs now for a long time without too much effort. When I take my top off everyone is blown away.
āThis is something I want to carry on for as long as Iām able to get to the gym. I have no intention of stopping!
āThe knowledge I have learnt will stay with me for life.
āAfter everything Iāve been through with my physical injuries and everything, if I can do it, anyone can.ā
Even to be lifting weights and feeling great again is a huge deal for Chris, who lives with his partner and daughter in Truro, Cornwall, where he runs his own business, W. Spencer Interiors.
It is the culmination of 10 years of hard work to rebuild his life following the accident which left him with shattered vertebrae in his back and forced him to have a kidney removed.
āI was in a pretty bad place after the accident. It took me more than a year and a half to get back to what I would consider a normal life.
āI had to teach myself to get in and out of a car again, to bend, to sit, to stand, to walk more than 100 yards unassisted. It was a very stressful time.
āI had to give up my home and move back in with my parents because I couldnāt look after myself. I had to temporarily close my business down. I went from being very independent and very successful building a business to basically going back to live with my parents.
āThe relationship I was in at the time ended because she didnāt want to be with someone who could potentially be disabled.
āI had it all and lost it all.ā
It was a depressing time and something he never thought he would overcome.

But fast forward 10 years and his life was back on track, he has a new partner and a six-year-old daughter and his business is thriving.
But the final piece of the jigsaw was wanting to get in shape, have the body heād always wanted and to be the healthy dad and role model for his little girl.
āA big motivator for doing this LiveUP transformation was being healthy for my daughter.
āI have a strong family background and I would never want her to grow up without me there because I was selfish and wasnāt looking after myself.
āI want to age well, not get the problems that people get when they grow old and I still want to be going to the gym at 50.
āI still want to look good when I take my top off at the beach. I donāt want a gut hanging over my shorts.ā
Chris celebrating a victory with his daughter
It was actually an upcoming beach holiday to Ibiza that gave him the motivation he needed to start.
āI was actually eating a double portion of nachos for two people and thinking āIāve got Ibiza in 12 weeks. I really need to sort this out.ā
āThen I saw an advert for LiveUP for Ā£50. I literally signed up whilst I was eating my nachos.
āI didnāt want to go another year without getting in shape and it was 10 years since the accident.
āI knew I had the discipline to do it if I had a programme to follow. If I had someone telling me what to eat, how to train and what I had to do, Iām very good at sticking to a plan.ā
The LiveUP programme had all that and more – but at Ā£50 per month, Chris had thought it might be too good to be true.
āI wasnāt expecting the diet to be as simple and easy to follow as it was.
āI still canāt believe it was only Ā£50 a month. Most people will blow that on a Friday night without thinking about it.
āBut itās been life-changing.ā
The LiveUP programme includes an easy-to-follow diet and training plan, weekly check-ins for accountability, video exercise guides and recipes, as well as a supportive online community.
It really helped Chris take his body from āgoodā to āgreatā in a matter of weeks.
He didnāt have to make massive changes to his lifestyle, just simple but profound tweaks to his diet and three training sessions in the gym a week.
āThe biggest things Iāve changed are just training consistently 3 times a week, tracking my progress and getting stronger every session.
āMy step count has increased too. Before LiveUP, I was probably only doing 6-8,000 a day.
āI essentially doubled my steps per day, so the weight really dropped off in the 12 weeks. Walking makes a huge difference in the number of calories you burn off in a day.ā
Chris says before LiveUP, his diet was āall over the placeā. But the programme has helped him simplify his nutrition, understand the macros and portion sizes he needs, and just focus on enjoying life.
āFitness is only as complicated as you make it. If you follow the instructions with LiveUP, even a five-year-old could do it.
āI had been trying to diet and get in shape for the best part of 15 years.
āI donāt have to track my calories at all now.
āNow itās all about eating protein with every meal and simple portion control with my fats and carbs.
āYou can have carbs. Youāre not suffering or eating tiny rabbit portions of salad. Itās so simple.
āIf you stick to the plan, hit your daily step count and get to the gym and train with some intent, you canāt NOT succeed.ā
Chris, happy and healthy and supporting his family
Chris says the results he achieved in 12 weeks on LiveUP were unbelievable.
He got the body he wanted for Ibiza.
But it was the impact on his health and other areas of his life that really took him by surprise.
āThis programme has been truly life-changing. After my accident and the injuries I suffered, I never thought I would be able to get the body that I have now achieved.
āNot just the physical appearance, but the ability to move and function and lift certain weights again.
āItās given me a lot more flexibility and a lot more mobility again. It has enabled me to go on longer walks with the family because before LiveUP, if we took the dogs out for a walk, within about 20 minutes, my back would be killing and Iād want to stop.
āThe overall health benefits have been overwhelming for me. My missus and anyone that knows me would say the same – itās changed my life for the better.ā
Twelve weeks was not the end for Chris, it was just the beginning.
He has been able to carry on with LiveUP and the knowledge he has learned – heās still getting stronger, building more muscle and staying in shape.
Chris has taken back the reigns over his life, with U.P. helping him to achieve the levels of health and fitness his injuries had held him from – Read more about what LiveUP can do for you
